Back in the Saddle!

So, it was good to see all of you in class today. I think we started a good conversation about No Impact Man and the book, so I hope that each of you is truly deciding about how you will incorporate the idea of Sustainability into your daily lives. I have stopped using as many disposable plates and cups as possible...my husband I used to use them daily, along with trying to reduce consumables and my use of natural resources. I look forward to hearing about your Sustainability efforts in the presentations the next two weeks.

The things that are pending for class are:

• Class decides on planting of individual pots for lavender (or another plant) and will have evidence at the class meeting on 11/8. Y'all will decide on the date to plant, how to plant them, etc. Ariel said she can get a discount for pots at Holly Lobby and someone mentioned Lowe's. You might also check with the horticulture department of the Ag department on campus and see if they have any extra seeds you can use for your class group project.
• Sign-Up for Presentations: you will need to sign up before Monday for your time to present on either 10/25 or 11/1.
• Presentations: please be sustainable in your presentations, yet creative. I will have a laptop available, in case you need to use it for your presentations. Please remember that I do not want you reading the questions and answers, but rather I would like to see your creativity in the manner in which you present the materials.
• We will be having lunch in a few weeks. Be thinking about what you would like to talk about that day. 
• Registration: Spring Class registration begins today. Please be sure to register early to secure the classes you need for spring 2011.

Have a great week!
